So, have you all heard about the new challenge blog in town? It's called "A Blog Named Hero", and it's for all things Hero Arts. The card I'm sharing this evening is for their first challenge, "Play Favorites". We are supposed to create using our favorite Hero Arts stamps. Egads.

| Hero Arts "Outline Flowers, So Sorry, Misc. Tim Holtz Distress Inks, Tsukineko Sponge Daubers, Stampendous White Embossing Powder, Versamark Ink, Bazzill CS, Gina K. Designs Pure Luxury White CS. |
I wanted this to be relatively flat for mailing, and a definite CAS card, so I heat embossed the image with white embossing powder, sponged in some color, and added a sentiment. No fru-fru today. This is for a friend, who I just learned has stage 3 lung cancer, non-small cell. Didn't want a lot of happy 'stuff' - just wanted her to know she's loved.
Have a great week, and thanks for stopping by :)
Hugs and smiles,
Patti J.
